"Bleak House" is a novel by Charles Dickens, published in 20 monthly installments between March 1852 and September 1853. It is held to be one of Dickens's finest novels, containing one of the most vast, complex and engaging arrays of minor characters and sub-plots in his entire canon. At the novel's core is long-running litigation in England's Court of Chancery, Jarndyce v Jarndyce, which has far-reaching consequences for all involved. The litigation, which already has taken many years and consumed between £60,000 and £70,000 in court costs, is emblematic of the failure of Chancery.

At the very end
This is a fun adventure story. Lots of action. Many different types of people as well as animals. At various times they work with each other, live and fight and learn from each other.
Tarzan of the Apes is thought of as a young person’s book. Yet I have just encountered it for the first time, in my upper 60s of age, and I thoroughly enjoyed it to the end.
One might think this book is more of a story for males. However, if you reach the very end, you will discover that this is actually a romance book. Indeed, it was the very end which disappointed me enough that I had to remove one star from the “overall” rating. At the very end, Tarzan does something which to me seems... well, ‘nuts.’ You'll need to listen to the entire book, to decide for yourself.

Difficult to get over the reading
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I would not recommend this version as the reading is extremely distracting. It appears as if the narrator did not understand the work. The reading is disjointed, there are bizarre and inappropriate pauses and stresses that are out of context. In addition, some words are mis-pronounced.
I understand that nobody is perfect, especially me, but I would expect the production team, or someone, to have picked this up.
Would you be willing to try another one of Alan Munro’s performances?
Definitely not. This performance had a hugely detrimental effect on my enjoying and even understanding the story.
Did Tarzan of the Apes inspire you to do anything?
I would purchase more Tarzan stories.
